Upstairs Hallway

"Hi! I'm Beth. This is the big hole in our second floor roof! The dirt from the attic is falling into my hair! Ick!"

This photograph is already somewhat historical, because the horse-hair plaster has already been screwed back into place. The hole has been covered with a piece of sheetrock.

If you look at the floor, you'll see that it's light green. We've tested it and it appears to be lead paint. Better yet: we think that it is boat paint! That's super toxic! Fortunately, we've found this really great product called called Peel Away, which lets us literally peel the paint off the floor, without creating a lot of toxic dust.
